Investment Q&A

Q: Down on CRWD and thinking of selling (early tax loss harvest). What stock and/or ETF would be a good proxy?

Q: Hello 5I.
Just wondering if there are any payment/fintech stocks out there that are actually cheap? I know many have had big falls? Please add names I missed. Thanks

Q: CELH is due to report (date please)? The least little bit of a miss everything in this Market drops about 20% and so do you think it will have a bit of a miss? ALB - it had quite a drop, were the earnings that bad or another one to fall if everything isn't perfectly aligned? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: Can I get detailed comments on each three and which you would buy and why? Which is the “cheapest” on metrics and which has the greatest upside in your opinion?

Q: I have the above listed in my US $ account, all in a positive position. Is it time to add or should I hold until market direction is more positive (re Ukraine).
What would be your sequence of adding.
Thanks for your help as always.

Q: I'd like to start picking up some tech stocks and am looking for recommendations in Canada and the US. Currently thinking of the following:

US: EPAM, ADBE, MSFT, FB
CA: TOI, TIXT, SHOP and NUVEI

Do you like this list or are there changes you would make to my list?

Q: With the mandates and Covid restrictions being relaxed/lifted could you name 10 stocks that might see good momentum and growth.
Many thanks.

Q: Given the continuing supply chain stories and the no doubt costly and time consuming difficulty for shipping firms to add capacity, is now a good time to buy shipping firms and, especially, commodity shipping firms? Which are the most reliable dividend payers? THANX!

Q: I've been a shareholder for awhile. On Feb 17, 2022 Circle / Concord announced they were doubling in value (from $4.5B to $9.0B). The company was most definitely pleased to share this which would normally be positive; however, I have a few concerns / questions.
a) I feel that the value of my investment has dropped in half. Is this correct? (I like to be wrong!)
b) Does this mean that everybodies investments has dropped in half. i.e. At one point in the last 6 months I heard that Cathy Wood's funds bought millions of shares. I assume she would also be impacted. I own a few shares of one of her funds AND ask this question because, some bigger fish may not be too happy if they got impacted as well - which could have other repurcussions for CRCL.)
c) Who is the winner here? I am guessing that a number of people possibly had their share count doubled? If not, does everybody lose? (I think the company gets more money.... but I feel that us little retail investors may not be as lucky.)
Thanks as always.

Q: If you had $25K to add to your TFSA today with consideration to having a portfolio of 5-10 stocks, some of which could be better short term (2-5yrs) vs longer term (10-25yrs). Mix of medium to lower risk what would you suggest and could you advise on ideal way to allocate %?

Q: HI, would you pick IAI over KBWD or take some exposure to both? I recognize these are not apples to apples and I'm seeking one or both or an alternative to add US financial exposure.

Q: What would be your current top 5 buys in the US and Canada? Thanks

Q: Is there any downside to buying shares in single digit amounts when the share price is high? Example: Amazon at over $3000 per share.

Q: I've owned Coke for a nice 12% run. Swap out for Walmart or stick with KO?

Q: MS has been dropping the past few days, likely with the market in general and geopolitical reasons but perhaps also due to news that the SEC and DOJ are investigating the business on block trading. Given this disclosure, would you suggesting moving out of the position (even at this depressed price) into another such as JPM that does not have this similar SEC risk? Or, could this even be an opportunity to build on the MS position?

Q: I'm considering getting some HXQ after its fall related to incipient interest rate hakes. In your view is it too early for bottom fishing the NASDAQ?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
I am considering initiating a position in earthstone energy but there have been no questions asked on this energy stock and I would like your opinion.

The company has made several acquisitions in 2021 with another expected to close in second quarter..

What is your opinion on this company going forward and would you be interested at current price levels and if not why, why not.
Where do you it going medium/short term....Do they have potential given current the economic conditions affecting oil?

Many thanks
Jim

Q: Pypl continues to fall. Its P/E is now approx. 30. Although you haven't been too keen on the company recently, in your view what would be a compelling entry price? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i, so much doom and gloom and grumpy people, I get it haha but be mad at yourselves not 5i!!

I could have sold Roku Shop and LSPD at all time highs but I also owned them before COVID and topped up near covid lows so not selling on the way up to all time highs in 2021 worked quite well but being greedy and anchored to certain prices did not end well :)

Thanks for all your wisdom over the years I sure wish I listened the many times you stressed keeping weightings at a reasonable level as much as you like a stock I shall try to heed that more often.

Let’s look at this positively if anyone has 5 plus years or more investing how can you not be excited to pick some possibly massive winners for the future. It’s like March 2020 opportunities but some look better and could be even more exciting when things settle down long term.

If you had to pick 5 growth stocks that you could own for the next 5 years the goal of course is capital appreciation and I’m not asking you to pick and purchase the stock today but if you had to pick the stocks today but had the next 12 months to purchase at any pace you want what 5 stocks would choose? Canadian or American sector doesn’t matter nor does risk.

Q: We know uncertainty helps the markets drop. With Russia saying they are drawing back troops and NATO and USA say they are building up, one could anticipate uncertainty ahead. With this in mind, is there any advice for which type of stock might be the best to buy on a future dip?
